Greens and Libertarians Team Up to Demand Recount

Posted by timothy on from the pay-it-forward dept.

cyberformer writes "The Ohio election rules state that any losing candidate can demand a manual recount. Today, David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, the predidential candidates for the Green and Libertarian parties, announced that they are joining forces to do just that. A manual recount is important because it will include every ballot cast, whereas the first count only includes ballots that can be read by machine. It could even tip the state (and thus the election) from Bush to Kerry."

    Thanks for 4 more years of nazism jerk.

    I have an intense dislike for people that:

    1. Support Torture
    2. Support Liars.
    3. Support Killing
    4. Are opposed to civil liberties.

    A vote for Bush is a vote for all of the above. Please leave my country.

    Uh huh. I'd bet more of us Red staters have read Jane Smiley's tirade on Slate than you guys considering how many links I have seen to it in the last week. If you don't think every fscking one of us redoubled our resolve to make sure none of you freaks, misfits and wierdos EVER get near the levers of power again, you are going to be sadly mistaken come the midterms.

    And it isn't just that one twit, there have been dozens of similar rants against the "stupid rednecks in Jesusland" in all of the nations most read publications by leaders in the Democratic Party who SHOULD know better than to hurl childish insults at over half of the country they expect to lead someday. If our side is bright enough to be clipping this stuff and bold enough to throw it right back in your faces in two years we could see the end of you, and that would be a beautiful day.

    Well, given that the majority of the US apparently supports Bush, which "your country" am I in?

    And if you ask people of differing opinions to leave your country, it's no more the USA as we know it. You've destroyed political freedom.
